NC Secures Kashmir Support For Statehood

The National Conference has secured a significant endorsement from Kashmir civil society groups in its quest to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. On Tuesday, party leaders met with representatives from various civil society organizations in Kashmir, where a resolution was adopted demanding the reinstatement of J&K's statehood. This development comes ahead of the NC's planned protest in Delhi on July 20, which coincides with the commencement of Parliament's monsoon session.

The National Conference had earlier announced its intention to hold a one-day protest in the nation's capital, aiming to draw attention to the issue of statehood restoration for J&K. By garnering the support of Kashmir's civil society, the party seeks to bolster its campaign and demonstrate a united front in its pursuit of this goal.

The resolution adopted by the civil society groups underscores the importance of reinstating J&K's statehood, highlighting the need for the region to have full autonomy and representation at the national level. This move is seen as a crucial step in the NC's strategy to mobilize public opinion and pressure the government to reconsider its decision on J&K's status.

The upcoming protest in Delhi is expected to be a significant event, with the NC hoping to capitalize on the timing of Parliament's monsoon session to maximize its impact. The party's leadership is likely to use this opportunity to reiterate its demands and engage with lawmakers and other stakeholders to build support for its cause.

As the protest approaches, all eyes will be on the NC's ability to mobilize support and generate momentum for its campaign. The party's success in securing the backing of Kashmir's civil society has provided a significant boost to its efforts, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond to these developments. With the monsoon session of Parliament set to commence, the stage is set for a potentially pivotal moment in the ongoing debate over J&K's statehood.

In the coming days, the NC is likely to intensify its campaign, with party leaders and activists working to raise awareness and build support for the protest. The outcome of these efforts will be closely watched, as the nation awaits the unfolding of events in Delhi on July 20.
